“I've been coming to this nice little bookstore for about 35 years. They have a good selection, but more importantly they have a good vibe. I have found many of my favorite books here, as well as several outstanding CDs.”
“For book lovers, this is one of the most amazing places you could visit in the Bay Area!
Four whole floors dedicated to books of the most varied kind, from European and Latin American history to fiction and rare books ?
A huge amount of well-kept used books, those that you feel the story just by their art and appearance”
“Great used book store. It's a wonderful place to spend time browsing books. They also buy books so if you have extra and the local lending libraries are full bring em down.”

“There's a lot of books here, and I found some interesting horror and sci-fi pickups, but my lord the place needs a good sorting out. They shipped the books for me, and everything showed up fine. It's a good stop for sci-fi and horror fans, but be willing to pick through every section if you want to find any gems.”
“A complete Islamic bookstore. Catering from the beginners to the advance level curious minds. Easy learning games for children, coloring Islamic books, prayer mats and more. A must visit for every Islamic knowledge seeker in Berkley, Oakland area.”
“Fun bookstore to browse! Lots of great finds, both new and old (nostalgic).The layout was confusing at first, with some books not in alphabetical order so it may take a bit of searching if you are looking for a specific book or author.”
“This store has the best selection of Judaica and the owners are so helpful. It is such a pleasure to have a brick and mortar store where I can compare items. And around holiday times there is no better place to shop.”
“I have been several times and purchased many small crystals with the best prices I have seen! The owners are so kind and helpful! I bring friends to experience the store often. Highly recommend!”
“A light-filled spot with lovely books for little and not-so-little ones. We got several sweet books (e.g., Letters to My Grandchild) authored by Lea Redmond, and the warm storefront attendant Elizabeth wrapped beautiful gifts for the grandparents, who will definitely be delighted when they receive their care package. Thank you!”
“My favorite bookstore in the bay! Everyone is kind, eager to help, and the selection is great. I especially love the employee recommendation tables. Even bought some home decor here.”
“This is a very cute spot! My friend and I talked about coming here for a long time after seeing a reel on Instagram! Would highly recommend. The wine and small bites are a little pricey but they do have more of a niche, so it makes sense in my opinion. It is a bit smaller of a place, but when went today, on a Sunday, it wasn't very crowded. We will return the next time we are in Berkeley! They looked like they had some fun events, so we will be signing up for their mailing list!”

“I went to this book store with my mom. I'm not into books, but my mom is a big reader. I think all the books are donated or they bought. My mom bought three books, just for $4.50. Really cheap books. That's my 5 stars.”
“A treasure on 4th street. Wonderful books and a great selection of gifts along with helpful, friendly staff. If you haven't been to this store, you need to go!”
“Was in the neighbourhood for dinner with friends, and had some time to kill. We saw this near where we parked our car, and popped in for a quick visit. The bookstore was larger than expected! Had all genres of books and some gift products up front. I love the books with staff recommendation cards with them -- always great to learn about new stories! We were greeted by two friendly staff members. As my friend made a purchase, she was asked if she'd like to round up the purchase with a donation to books for local students in the Bay Area. What a great initiative! My friend said yes, and the two staffers gave a delightful cheer. I love shops that support the local community and clearly this was one such place! They also had a bulletin board for local events. Pricing is average but you can find some books for sale!”
“Can't believe I've lived in Berkeley 10 years before discovering this gem. Don't be a dum dum like me. Especially now that they have a fill center, and all sorts of fun stuff, friendly staff, and good green living.”
“Alibris is great for what it is. New books sold by them are clearly marked. Otherwise, you are buying from independent sellers that use alibris as conduit. Some of those sellers are not great (HPB, for example). Alibris does not always make clear what version or edition of a book you are receiving from these third parties. Alibris has excellent prices and regularly offers significant discounts via coupons.”
“Cool little comic shop. It is a smaller store so don't go in thinking you can dig through crates for aged back issues but they still might have something you're looking for or something you didn't know you wanted. The gentleman behind the counter was nice offered help and showed appreciation for me as a customer. When I was finished up selecting my purchases he asked if I was signed up for the customer loyalty program and when I informed him I wasn't from the immediate area he perked up a bit and gave a real genuine response of gratitude for coming in. Thanks for being fantastic.”
“Very cute toy shop down this street. It's 2 stories and is decorated from top to bottom. Definitely a great place to bring your kids or just to look around if you just like cute things in general. They have gift wrapping here as well and there's some children's books on the top floor. Lots of unique toys that you generally won't find in big retail stores with a toy section, but they have some popular and familiar characters, brands, and series too (Minecraft, Sonic, etc.). Of all the shops down this street, I think this one stood out the most.”
“Popped in here on a whim while looking for the elevator to the parking garage and ended up spending a lot of time browsing around the store. Great selection of radical literature, and a wonderful selection of graphic novels dealing with heavy subject matters”
